'ro ALL WHoM 1T MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that ILPATRICK I-IANLY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Removable Cogs for Horse-Shoes; and do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front view of a horse-shoe with my invention applied to it.

Figure 2, an inner or opposite-sideview of same. 1

Figure 3 is an edge view. A

Figure 4, a. longitudinal section.

Figures 5 and 6, transverse sections looking towards toe and heel; and

Figure 7 a rear-end elevation. p

This invention relates to `a novel device for temporarily roughng the shoes of a horse, for travelling on slippery ground or icc, without removing the shoes from the horses hoofs; and consists in the application of metallic plates, containing cogs, to the face of the worn horse-shoe, by means of screws, enabling thereby an ordinary stable-hand to attach and remove the same from the worn horse-shoes ina very short space of time, whereby a saving of much laborv and expense is obtained.

In the drawings, A represents a horse-shoe, with my invention applied to it, of which B is thc toc-plate, with its cogs C C. Dis a check-piece, connected with the plate B by means of' screws c e, which pass through both, confining the shoe between them, and irmly securing the cogged ltoe-plate on the face of the shoe. G is the heel-plate, having cogs H H on its face. This eogged heel-plate is fastened on the shoe by means of lips I I, which lean over on the inside or bevelled edge a of the shoe, (see figs. 2 and 6,) and set-screws K K, which pass through the lips I I.

The heads of the set-screws K K abut against the heel o f the shoe, (see tig. 1,) and, drawing the heel-plate toward the heel of the shoe, secure the same firmly in place. These plates maybe used separately or together,

as circumstance-s require; and, to prevent balling of the hoofs of .the horse by snow or dirt, I place a sheet of India rubber, L), or other elastic substance, on the frog of the hoof, and between the shoe and the heel and toe-plates. i

From the above it will be seen that I have produced la very convenient and inexpensive device, which can be easily attached to or removed from the shoes of a horse, which will eilectually prevent slipping on smooth or icy ground. V- A Having described my invention,-what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The bevel a in thc'horse-shoe, the plates B G, and their connections, 'substantially as and for the purposes described and set forth.

In tesimony whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this seventh day of'Novembcr, A. D. 1867.
